Garden Tour 2019

For me, the best part of the summer is the garden.

I am happiest when my fingers are in the dirt.

I love watching seeds become plants and then produce.

It's amazing...

the magic of summer!

I spent a lot of time gardening this past weekend.

We had hot, sunny days and stormy evenings.

We worked on a new project and began plans for yet another...

to be revealed later.

I filmed a garden tour for you.

If it doesn't show up below, you can find it at HERE, at this link.

We had special farm visitors on Saturday morning.

You might remember me mentioning meeting a gentleman who used

to live in our old log cabin when he was a child.

I met him when he accompanied his great granddaughter to a pre-school

farm visit.

Saturday, he brought his brother and sister who had also lived

in the old log cabin as children.

Here's Harry, Millie ("Sis"), and Jim:

It was fun to hear them reminisce about their days living in this place.

I think they all enjoyed seeing their old home...

although I believe it is a little more rustic, now, than it was at that time.

Now that July is here, the flowers that I planted are nearing maturity.

Everything is lush and colorful.

Now you can see why I love these Profusion zinnias so much!

And the Echinacea (coneflowers) just keep getting thicker each year.

It's obvious that the two feral kitties are quite comfortable with their home at the barn.

They are no longer feral, and add a whole lot of personality to the barn.
